Chapter 265 - CharmThat day, Xiang Yun had not gone out. Instead, he had carefully taught the youth, Qiao Feng, in his own courtyard. He had first taken out a healing pill to cure the hidden injuries on Qiao Feng"s body.
Afterwards, he taught him how to coordinate the Circulatory Cycle Revolution with Breathing, how to reach the optimal state for meditation, how to condense one"s Qi and blood, how to sense one"s own realm, and the signs of breaking through to the next realm …
These were all things that Xiang Yun had been able to figure out himself, as well as things that Luo Ning had personally taught him, or things that Old Liang had accurately pointed out.
Not only was Qiao Feng modest and eager to learn, he was also extremely talented. He had engraved Xiang Yun"s teachings in his heart, and would soon be able to comprehend a few truths, learning them quite impressively.Seeing Qiao Feng cultivate in peace, Xiang Yun sat down to one side and began circulating his cultivation.
The master and disciple pair cultivated until the sun was setting and it was about time for Qiao Feng to return home.Before he left, Xiang Yun instructed Qiao Feng to cultivate properly. From now on, he would be preparing a courtyard specially for his cultivation within the Crown Prince"s residence. He would be able to come here every day to cultivate.
Now that Qiao Feng"s cultivation was still low, Xiang Yun told him not to cultivate his martial arts for the time being. Once his cultivation had reached the Four Clouds Realm, Xiang Yun would teach him the appropriate martial arts.
Actually, one of the reasons was because Qiao Feng"s cultivation was low. Another important reason was that Xiang Yun really did not have a suitable martial skill for this little fellow to learn.
There was no need to worry about his Tiger Claws - after all, he was now a good teacher. How could he possibly have the first martial skill to teach his disciple? That was a vicious move like a monkey picking peaches.
As for the Gale Fast Sword, even he was unable to completely grasp it now, and it was even more impossible for Qiao Feng to do so. Rather than forcing him to cultivate a martial skill, why not let Qiao Feng cultivate in peace and increase his cultivation!
Calculating the time, today was the fourth day of the fifth month, and there were still three days left until the seventh day of the fifth month"s lottery draw. If he could draw a decent martial skill, then he could teach it to Qiao Feng.
Qiao Feng had no objections to Xiang Yun"s words at all. He firmly believed that his master"s words were correct, and he could cultivate in peace.
Before little Qiao Feng left, he also had a question. He said: "Master, the son of the blacksmith, Zhang Zhang of our mud-tile alley, would tell me every day that he is a disciple of some Iron Sword Sect. His father is also his master, and he is the eldest disciple of a sect.""I said that I also have a master, but he asked me what sect it was and I couldn"t say it. He said that I was lying. Master, do we have a sect?" Qiao Feng looked curiously at Xiang Yun as he asked.
"Haha …" Xiang Yun laughed, "There will be soon!"
"Really!" Xiang Yun"s eyes immediately lit up, "Master, what"s the name of our sect? Is master the sect master?"Xiang Yun rubbed the little fellow"s head as he said, "In less than half a month, we"ll have our own sect. We haven"t decided the name yet, but when the time comes and the master is the sect master, you"ll be the senior disciple!"
"Wow!"Qiao Feng couldn"t help but excitedly shout out loud, "That"s great, I also have a sect. I"m even the head disciple!"
"Cultivate well. Otherwise, if the other disciples in the sect overtake you in cultivation, your eldest senior brother will have no face at all." Xiang Yun then splashed a bucket of cold water on Qiao Feng.
"Yes, do not worry, Master. I will definitely train well!"
Although Qiao Feng was extremely happy, before leaving, he did not forget to bow respectfully towards Xiang Yun before skipping out of the courtyard. Although he was born with the talent of an Asura, he still possessed the temperament of a child.
After Qiao Feng had left, Xiang Yun saw that the sky had just turned dark. She did not look for Yue Jing, but instead went to look for Lin Wan"er.
However, this girl Lin Wan"er was obviously feeling embarra.s.sed and fearful today. She too did not know if something shameful had really happened between her and Xiang Yun.
Despite the uneasiness within his heart, he was too shy to show his annoyance. However, he simply did not dare to meet Xiang Yun. He hid himself as though he were hiding something.
Xiang Yun felt a little helpless, but he did not return to his room to continue cultivating. Cultivation was a matter of life and death. After experiencing the dangers of the Silvermoon Mountain Range, he had not yet come back to his senses.
At this moment, Xiang Yun had a rare desire to go out and roam about. Of course, it was after he had disguised himself.
Otherwise, with his Crown Prince"s swaggering image, he would be like a firefly in the pitch-black night sky, dazzling to the eye. Going where he went would cause quite a sensation.Immediately, Xiang Yun returned to his room and used the Mountain and River Great Seal to change his appearance back into that free and unrestrained chivalrous image.
At the same time, he had also changed his clothes into a set of grey and black clothing, similar to the black attire of the common folk, chivalrous cultivators. At the same time, he had changed his clothes, similar to the grey and black clothing of the common folk, similar to the traditional folk, chivalrous men, and took out the Wandering Dragon Sword from his storage ring.
Thus, the image of a wild, uninhibited, slightly slovenly travelling son of the martial arts world appeared before Xiang Yun"s eyes once more.
Looking at himself in the mirror, Xiang Yun stroked his beard that he had deliberately made up. The corners of his lips curled upwards, revealing an evil smile.
"So d.a.m.n handsome!"
The next moment, the door opened and closed. Xiang Yun had already flown to the top of the wall, jumping about like a swan. A short while later, he flipped over the wall of the Crown Prince"s residence, landing in an alley.Xiang Yun quickly walked out of the alleyway, then turned and walked into the main street as he blended in with the crowd.
Although it was already late at night, the streets of Qin Feng City were packed with people.
This was all thanks to Xiang Yun. Not only had his highness the crown prince developed the entire Qin Feng City, but he had also developed an economic industry with the brothels as its core.
Moreover, he was well aware of the commoners" happy hearts. He had long ordered Lu Yongchang to strengthen the city"s jurisdiction.
Therefore, no matter if it was day or night, there were soldiers on patrol. They were guarding the safety of the people in the city and maintaining law and order. Even if it was late at night, the citizens were able to relax and stroll in the streets.
The night had just fallen, and to the people of the Qin Feng City, it was the true start of the day.The main street Xiang Yun walked on was called "Gold Shower Street", and it connected the two sides of the city, "east and west". As he walked, he would be able to reach an enormous crossroads.
There were many people on the streets now, and other than the citizens of the city, there were naturally many outsiders who had recently arrived. Xiang Yun swept his gaze in all directions and discovered that within the crowd, there were many commoners dressed in an unusual manner.However, at this moment, everyone was moving in the same direction. If they weren"t going to the Southern City"s casino, they were going to the gamble, or they were going to the Northern City"s Yanzhi Bridge, like the wind and snow.
It was rare now, so he did not need to worry about being recognized by others. Walking with a swagger, his gray robe fluttering, with a head of messy hair, a stubble on his beard, and an old and loose sword, his face still possessed the charm of a mature man.
There were some girls around who liked this style, and they would glance at him from time to time. Xiang Yun pretended not to know, but was secretly pleased with himself.
It seemed that many people admired his appearance. It had to be known that mature men were born from the purest milk; they were even more lethal.
Since he had such charisma today, Xiang Yun decided to go to the north side of the city tonight and have a good look around.Of course, he was not looking for flowers or catties, but he was looking for a unique pavilion, drinking wine and looking at the flirtatious brothels, revealing their thighs and open chests, saying that a certain rich guest had spent a great deal of money;
Listening to the high-tasting guests of the brothel, hugging beauties and blabbering on, looking at those poor Elementary Scholars who did not have money but wanted to get intimate with each other, they put on an act and pretended to be romantic …
It was also a good way to relax.
Having a direction in mind, Xiang Yun began strolling forward. Of course, he did not forget the curious gazes that were directed at the young ladies of the good families who pa.s.sed by, as well as the unrestrained, naked, and raging gazes.
"Interesting, interesting!" At this moment, Xiang Yun"s heart was filled with great interest.Suddenly, he felt something move behind him. He thought that he had been accidentally touched by a pa.s.serby. Unexpectedly, his arm was tightened and someone was holding him from behind!
Xiang Yun was shocked. The hibernating cloud energy inside his body was like a compressed balloon that was about to explode. At the same time, he suddenly turned around, his face filled with shock!
Beside him was a yellow-dressed lady. She had red lips and white teeth, a fat nose, and a pair of eyes that flickered like gems. Beneath her delicate and agile appearance, there was a sense of deceit and mischievousness.
"Miss, what are you doing?"
Xiang Yun was a little stunned. Looking at this beautiful girl in front of him, she did not hesitate at all as she hugged her arms in front of her chest, using that pair of small hills that were not that plump to prop him up as she leaned towards him.
Xiang Yun thought somewhat lifelessly, even if I"m so handsome today, it shouldn"t be possible for a beauty to throw herself into his arms like that.However, the woman"s gaze did not fall on Xiang Yun at all. She stole a furtive glance behind her, and like a frightened fawn, she hurriedly turned around and leaned against Xiang Yun as she spoke in a low voice.
"Shh, don"t talk anymore. Someone is chasing after me. Now pretend to be my husband and bring me away, hurry up!"
"Huh?"
Xiang Yun was immediately a little dumbfounded. What was this? He had even been planning on drinking a cup of wine, but why did a beauty suddenly appear, wanting him to pretend to be his husband? Could it be that he was playing with immortals?
Unable to understand what was going on, Xiang Yun subconsciously turned back to look as well.With a single glance, Xiang Yun felt as though there was nothing strange about the crowd that was moving behind him.
But in the next instant, he felt a blinding ripple. He looked over and saw that within the crowd, there was an ordinary black-clothed young man who was looking in his direction.
That scorching gaze had come from this person. If it were not for that purposeful gaze, it would have been impossible for Xiang Yun to find this person within the crowd.
As their gazes met, Xiang Yun felt his eyes grow hot and his pupils actually appeared. An illusory image of a blood-colored ocean seemed to appear, as if it was embedded within a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
"This is bad!"Xiang Yun instantly realized that something was wrong. He immediately channeled the Art of Creation in his dantian and the sleeping purple fire dragon instantly opened its eyes!
A black light suddenly shot out of its purple and black pupils, illuminating Xiang Yun"s entire body, his natal residence, and his acupoints!In the next moment, the sea of blood in front of Xiang Yun"s eyes was swallowed up by an invisible devouring force, disappearing in an instant. Xiang Yun"s gaze became clear once more as his mind was no longer drowsy.
"Huh?" The man in the crowd exclaimed and revealed an intrigued smile on his face.
After Xiang Yun recovered from the strange feeling, he immediately turned his head, not daring to meet this person"s gaze.
He felt a strong sense of danger from this youth. It was a feeling of extreme danger that threatened his life.
At this moment, there was only a single sentence in Xiang Yun"s mind. Those were the words that the old man had warned him: "If you can"t beat him, then run away!"
